Napoleon Dynamite needs You!

Jon Heder is producing a short (5-min) animated video written by Nick Peterson, it’s called Drained. The project launched on Kickstarter and will be using stop motion animation and live actors. If you want to see what this looks like check out his two commercials.

$10 and you get your name in the credits, $25 and you get a download of the film.

Sounds like an interesting concept, I’d like to see it filmed. 23 days to go!

I danced with the Angry Birds

“This is the best game ever!” my friend exclaimed as she pulled out her iPhone and started to show me how to play Angry Birds.

“That’s the best game ever?” I thought to myself, “you’re just flinging birds at pigs!”

Fast forward two months and I finally purchased the iPod Touch, one more month and I finally downloaded Angry Birds — the free version.

Then I downloaded the paid version.

Flinging birds at pigs has never been this fun! And I’m not the only one who thinks so! Angry bird is popping up all over the place! Let’s see, there is …

And the Oscar goes to …

Posted in Media, The Telly by

Today is the Oscars, and I’m going – for the first time – to an Oscar “party”. That “party” part is stretched, after all, it will be 4 of us, flicking back and forth between the basketball game and the awards, though, cheese might be on the menu. Yes, we can party.

I don’t really care about the Oscars, to be honest, I’ve never cared about any award shows, but I do love hanging out with close friends. However, since we are having an Oscar party and I am competitive I created a form where we can input our answers before the awards to see who guessed the most correctly.

My Hopeful Winners

Not really sure how those will work out, but if I were to go by Mashable’s predictions and their voice of the people via Twitter then I have 50% correct. If I were to go by Foursquare’s checkins then I’m only good with my Inception choices.

In any case, I will enjoy the the companionable night and the cheese.
